How does the position of a fulcrum affect the load?
does the positoin ef the fulcrum affect the force necessary to lift a weihgt
Which fulcrum location required us to push down the lever the least to lift the load?
The fulcrum should be as far as possible from the effort to minimise the force needed. It should also be as close to the load as possible.
How is a wheelbarrow a lever?
There are 3 things in a lever. They are load,fulcrum, effort. The place where the wheel is the fulcrum, the place where we put something is load,the place we hoist the wheelbarrow is the effort so it is a second class lever.
What happens when the fulcrum is further from the load?
The closer the load is to the fulcrum the greater the mechanical advantage. The closer to the fulcrum, the less the load moves when the lever is used.
Is the fulcrum always located at the same place as the lever?
No, there are 3 types of load-fulcrum-effort systems and the fulcrum depends upon the effort and the load of the system...

What is the length from the fulcrum to the load?
That is the distance between the load and the fulcrum. The load may be on the far side, or the near side of the fulcrum. One often overlooked fact, is that as the distance from load to fulcrum increases, the load on the fulcrum decreases.
Keeping the location of the effort constant Will the effort increase if the load is moved farther away from the fulcrum?
The magnitude of the effort is controlled by you, not by the distance of the load from the fulcrum. Moving the load farther away from the fulcrum has no effect on the effort. But if you want to leave the effort where it is and still lift the load with the lever, then you're going to have to increase the effort.
Which fulcrum location required us to push down the lever the least to lift the load?
The fulcrum should be as far as possible from the effort to minimise the force needed. It should also be as close to the load as possible.
Where are the effort load and fulcrum locate in a first class lever?
The fulcrum is between the effort and the load.
How does the position of the fulcrum and the location of the load affect the amount of effort force you must exert to lift the load?
To do this you first have to calculate your ideal mechanical advantage (IMA). The IMA is equal to the effort distance (the distance from the fulcrum to where you will apply the effort) divided by the load distance (the distance from the fulcrum to the load). You can then set your IMA equal to your acutal mechanical advatage (AMA) which assumes 100% efficiency. The AMA is equal to the load force (the weight of what you are lifting) divided by the effort force (the # you are looking for). So, for example, if your IMA is 5 and your load force is 500 lbs: 5=500/effort force. Therefore the effort force would be 100 pounds.

Relationship between position of fulcrum and effort required to lift load?
A relationship between two of it are when load come closer to fulcrum, you need more effort to use. But if load go far away from the fulcrum, you need less effort to use.

The closer the load is to the fulcrum the greater the mechanical advantage. The closer to the fulcrum, the less the load moves when the lever is used.
Where are the load effort and fulcrum located on a second class lever?
No, the function of the fulcrum remains the same The only change would be the ratio of force to load The closer the fulcrum is the the load, the less force required to lift it The farther away the fulcrum is from the load, the more force required to lift it
Is the fulcrum always located at the same place as the lever?

What are some examples of class 3 levers?
First class levers are like see-saws. The fulcrum (turning point) comes between the effort and the load. So if you push down on the effort the load goes up. With second class levers the load comes between the effort and the fulcrum. This is good for catapulting things. Third class levers have the effort between the load and the fulcrum. An example would be a fishing rod. The fish on the end is the load, your hand on the rod is the effort and the hand at the end is the fulcrum.
